Blister in the Sun

147 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. All but a handful of them — 97% — put it in B minor, a key signature of 2 sharps. The tempo printed above is the median of the 147 readings; 96% of them land within 2% of it, and they barely differ at all.

At 96.8 BPM one beat lasts 619.8 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 155 ms and a dotted eighth 464.9 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 48.4 BPM, counted twice as fast 193.6. A score would mark that Andante, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 440.8 Hz, which is 3 cents above concert A at 440 Hz — close enough to standard that a tuner would not argue. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 6.79 dB: that is how far the level wanders from its own average, so a small number means a loud, flat master and a large one means a recording that still breathes. Its average loudness is 0.392 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
